An egg sandwich with avocado, bacon and cheese, a cinnamon bun and a peppermint tea.
Maddie O.

I came here for a girls brunch on Sunday. What a great place to have authentic French cuisine. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was so good. I had an egg sandwich with avocado, bacon and cheese with a peppermint tea and a cinnamon bun. I had a great time and I am looking forward to going back and trying more things.

Great little coffee house located in the arts District of downtown Providence. It was a little bit crowded, but Alane our hostess was able to secure a table for four against the window. The line moves very efficiently. Everyone here is so nice and friendly. They really made us feel at home. The food here is simply divine simple yet elegant. Their signature breakfast sandwich that you can order with different kinds of protein, like bacon sausage etc. was cooked to perfection. We also had the chocolate croissant which was so light and flaky with a bit of semi dark chocolate it was a perfect bite with their delicious coffee. If you're in the downtown arts District of Providence, this is definitely worth a stop.

Best latte I've had in Rhode Island, kuddos to the barista

2nd time coming to Ellie's, but first time dining in and taking in the beutiful atmosphere and freshness of the cafe. First off they use New Harvest medium roast with a nutty and graham cracker like tones, Im usually not a fan of medium roast of nutty tones, but my the barista and those beans. He pulled a perfect shot on my latte and it was heavenly. The food and service are so welcoming, staff is politely checking in on every table and those in lines. I highly appreciate the love the staff show for the place. I recommend arriving early to beat the line and grab the perfect tables near the windows for that warmth touch and scenery. I arrived just before 9 beating the crowd and got a great table and a parking spot on the street a few yards away. I will keep recommending this place to my friends and family!

Ellie's dinner was a breath of fresh air! We ordered 5 small plate and each one was beautifully presented and delicious. The food as well as the warm and welcoming service provided a perfect evening.

I really want to like Ellie's as much as I used to but alas! Pre-Covid Ellie's was my go-to for work meetings, catering, and pre-PPAC. My most recent visit was with PVD Coffee Crawls and I will at least say the workers on the weekend were actually nice and my drink was tasty. Over the last few years when I've gone to visit on weekdays, the staff are rude and I left multiple times with not a full order. I went back a few times because it was for work and this was their preferred place to order from. But the last time I went there for a work order I appalled. The cashier was kind but he seemed new so didn't seem to know much. The woman filling the pastry order was talking to co workers and didn't seem to care that I was waiting and there was a line. She then gave me my order and didn't give me my 24 macaroons. Then gave me attitude that she had to get boxes downstairs for them. When i finally got to the office I was missing 3 of the pastries that I paid for, and one that I asked for but never ended up on my receipt. Wasn't worth the call back to them honestly. I've gone for lunch with a friend before too, she really wanted to try it and then her sandwich was burnt. I don't really get the hype. It is super cute but very expensive and not consistent quality and sometimes the service is downright rude.

Quiche du Jour
Stephany S.

This is the kind of place you just want to be. Warm, welcoming, and effortlessly charming. There is a ton of seating- indoor/outdoor style. We stopped in for breakfast and were immediately greeted by the friendliest staff. Genuinely kind people who made us feel right at home. I had the daily quiche, which was packed with ham and nestled in a homemade rosemary crust that was buttery, flaky, and full of flavor. We also shared a massive croissant. And the chai was a standout. It's a house blend from a local company, perfectly sweetened.

Seating

We were looking for a brunch spot and came upon Ellie's new location. It's a nice venue, new, bright and lined with windows. They also have a row of tables outside. We grabbed an open table and placed our order at the counter. We selected: * Signature Breakfast Sandwich: Hen egg, Cabot cheddar, tomato jam * Side Dish: 1 Fried Egg * French Brie: black mission fig jam, toasted Marcona almonds, tender baby greens Though you order at the counter, your food is brought to the table, and we thought the service was friendly and excellent. The Breakfast Sandwich is much, much better than any fast-food restaurant, but it needed more sauce, as it was too dry. The fried egg side is a round, flat and dry egg, which I added to the breakfast sandwich which is on the smaller side. Overall, it was okay, but not great. The French Brie sandwich was tastier than the breakfast sandwich, the jam and nuts added flavor and crunch. We prefer a warm brie; this brie is a cold block of brie which we didn't find too appealing. We will return here and try some other dishes. Overall, 3.5-stars rounded up to 4-stars because of the venue and speedy service.

Ellie's Signature Breakfast Sandwich
Kent S.

Rating: 4.3 Came to try Ellie's for breakfast. It's a breakfast/bakery restaurant on Westminster street in Providence. Street parkings available. When we got there there was a line waiting out the door. After looking at the menu we decided to place order online while we visited Mariachi Japanese grocery market. By the time we finished at the grocery store the order was ready. We came back and grabbed our drink and food and sat down to eat. Inside and outside seatings are available. I ordered breakfast sandwich with extra egg, sausage, and avocado, chocolate croissants and iced mocha. I added chocolate as sweetener for iced mocha and it was perfectly sweet with hint of chocolate flavor. It was not too sweet and you can taste the hint of chocolate as well as the coffee. The chocolate croissant was nice and flaky, fluffy and little bit of chocolates inside. I preferred more chocolate but was still tasty. The breakfast sandwich was simple but was still pretty good. Nicely cooked fluffy egg with savory flavor of sausage pairs well with tomato jams. My only gripe was that avocado wasn't included probably a mistake. Service was ok the long line can be frustrating. Luckily we just bypassed it with online order. Overall the place was good. I like the place and would come back. I would always plan to order a head because I don't think I would go there if i have to wait in a line. Parking can be tricky during busy hours as well since it's in Providence.

Wine bar

We were looking for a place to go for dessert and wine before our PPAC show and thought Ellie's fit the bill! We walked in and were able to grab a seat without an issue. It did quickly fill up soon after and space was at a premium. The two waitstaff were both super friendly, but also very overrun! Unfortunately we were surprised to see that with the wienbar they do not offer dessert. Well let me clarify, we ordered wine and a coffee, and then were directed to the small plates. We didn't see any dessert out or anything on the menu. By the time our server came back to our table we just had to give them the check and go. Such a mixed opportunity to not have lovely after dinner desserts out. The wine was tasty and they had a great selection. Also appreciated that the price point was very reasonable. They also had live music which was a nice touch. I'll head in again soon during the day!

Cappuccino

I went here yesterday and I already want to go back! Breakfast sandwiches = SO Good. Pain Au Chocolate = PHENOMENAL. The seasonal Butternut Squash Cranberry Croissant = Superb! The menu is simple but choosing what to have is still hard; everything is made of quality. They had good customer service and plenty of indoor seating. This place is going to be a repeat spot. I came here for a chat with friends and stayed for over an hour. It's busy on a Sunday morning so expect to wait for a table to open up - it's a first come basis.

My husband and I were driving through Providence on our way to a wedding. We stopped at Ellie's for the reviews and so glad we did. The cold brew coffee and apple ginger scone I ordered were mouthwatering. I only wish we had more time to try more of the food! The shop was very aesthetically pleasing! And the service was great!

Mocha
Chris R.

Now here's a place to get a wonderful breakfast and coffee experience! The sandwich was perfect in every way. Warm and cooked to perfection. The mocha was filled with chocolate and espresso and super delicious. This place is 5 stars all day long

Annie R.

They moved about a block away into a new building. But overall, everything is still top notch for me. Food: - signature breakfast sandwich on a croissant. Omg, the croissant on its own was amazing! Very comparable to the actual ones in France. The sandwich was so delicious and I would order it again. - iced caramel latte with oat milk- this was also really good! Drank every drop. - avocado toast- my friend gave me a taste of this and wow, this was also very good. Service: It's an order first, get your # for the table and find any open table after you order type of spot. The servers were quick. We sat at an outside table and the food also came out quick. We had the sweetest staff talk to us and gave us great recommendations as well. Ambiance: There's indoor and outdoor seating. The place looks like it's always busy (it's bc it's that good). There's street parking but also some parking lots around to use as well but it can be pricy. The decor and set up is super cute. Lots of windows.

Gluten free? Vegan? Dairy Free?

Certain items yes. But some items may be gluten-free but not dairy and free vice versa.

Do they serve a full breakfast or just breakfast sandwiches?

According to their website (http://elliesprov.com), their breakfast menu consists of different variations of the signature breakfast sandwich, strawberry tartine, quiche, and yogurt (as well as their wide array of pastries).

Any vegan options here?

We looked online for local restaurants to dine at during our stay. Neither my girlfriend or I have ever gone to a French restaurant, so we decided on The Metro Bistrot, due to all the fantastic reviews. I called and spoke with Jay (chef and owner) a week prior to make the reservation. We took an Uber from the hotel, as it's BYOB and brought a couple of bottles of wine. This was a Saturday before a big snow storm the following day. I think due to this, the restaurant wasn't as busy as usual. We ended up being seated in the back room all to ourselves. It was a very nice room that had about 4 tables. Stephanie, our server was an absolute delight! Turns out she works for the hotel as well and she's the one I spoke with when we booked the room. She opened our Beaujolais for us and brought some wine glasses. She kept the bottle chilled in the fridge for us. She went over some of the specials being prepared that night and was able to make some nice recommendations. My girlfriend ended up with the special seafood soup special with a lobster stock as a base. I ordered the escargot. Both were absolutely fantastic. She kept our bread basket filled with wonderful fresh warm bread to soak up all the goodness of the soup and escargot. My girlfriend ordered the boar shank and I ordered the stuffed quail that was stuffed with foie gras and pate. The boar meat fell right of the bone and was some of the most tender meat we've ever had. Both dishes were phenomenal. Jay stopped by our table to chat. He's super nice and even took some photos with us. We ordered 3 different kinds of cheeses prior to ordering dessert. All three we ordered were great! Stephanie also brought us a bowl of crackers to go with the cheese. For dessert, my girl had the cheesecake with an oatmeal crust and fresh berries. I'm not usually one for sweets, unless it Crème Brûlée, so I opted for the Boursin stuffed Shrimp, forgetting it wasn't an appetizer, but a main entree. It was out of this world! All the fish Jay brings in are always fresh and NEVER frozen. He even poured me a small glass of some white wine and it went so well with the shrimp. We cannot wait to go back. The prices are very reasonable and the service and food is second to none. Cheers!

One chef and one server. It is byob and the menu isn't extensive. But it is mostly local and classic French. It is accessible and not pretentious. A place where the passion for French cooking is designed for locals. The food is interesting and has a casual vibe. Like a small village in France where farmers and artisans come. The space is small and seatings limited, so by the end of the night you can meet new friends if you want to. I would encourage you to bring an extra bottle of wine and share.

Their food tends to be hearty and comforting. A few dishes I have tried and enjoyed include: - The cassoulet, which is not a traditional French cassoulet at all, but it is comforting and filling. I would give it an 8/10 (ask for extra bread). - The baked brie is really good and comes in a big portion. I would give this a 10/10. - Le Jardinier is an open-face veggie sandwich. It has a lot piled on the bread, so it can get a bit soggy, but it is a good lighter option if you do not want one of their heavier dishes. 7/10. - The gratin is sooooo good. It is a super decadent mac and cheese with thin slices of prosciutto. 10/10 - Chaider (not a food item) is my favorite drink. It is a mix of chai and apple cider 10/10. - The duck house potatoes and eggs are good, but if your eggs are overcooked, the dish can be a bit dry since there is no sauce. I think an option to add hollandaise would potentially elevate this dish. 7/10. The gougeres, beignets and crêpes are also good.

I had noted it was our anniversary on the reservation but I feel like restaurants seldom take notice. Not only did many of the staff wish us a happy anniversary, our dessert was inscribed and champagne was received. The server, Max, was meticulous with detail and made sure our dining experience was top notch. We started with wine by the glass then switched to a half bottle of wine, which was perfect for dinner. For an entree, I got the Cornish game hen supreme, which I will be thinking about for a long time. It was well seasoned and the mix of accoutrements made the dish.

We enjoyed a 2021 Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir with our dinner. My husband and I shared two appetizers, the beef tartare and the lobster raviolo. Outstanding! The beef tartare was so fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, there were only two pieces for $19. The lobster raviolo was filled with mascarpone and lobster topped with trout row. Decadent. One ravioli priced at $21. I had the Dover soul with almond sauce ($64) and hubby had the roasted duck ($34) for entrees. Both perfect in every way. One minor suggestion is that the Dover didn't need the frisée. It just got in the way. Our friends who recommended Chanterelle suggested that we order the Grand Marnier soufflé when we ordered our dinner because we shouldn't miss out on this dessert and it takes some time to bake the soufflé. Oh my goodness...I have never tasted something so divine, creamy and luscious. Silk on my tongue. The service from Nick and the young lady assisting was spot on. It is an expensive restaurant but I think worth the $$$$ Just be aware of the cost so you're not surprised. I've dined at Alinea in Chicago which is a 3 Michelin star restaurant ranked 9th on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, and Chanterelle might be my 2nd most favorite restaurant after Alinea. Fine dining at its best!
